Nothing.

General Comments:

This is a company supplied car and has done high mileage, mainly at speed.

Handling is superb although the 2.0 engine is underpowered. I would have liked the 2.5 but couldn't afford the tax!

One negative is that the interior plastics are very easy to mark and not easy to clean.

Economy is not great with permanent 4wd, but will hit 40mpg on a motorway run.

I also like the scarcity value. Mine is the only saloon I have seen in the UK in 15 months! Makes me feel I know something others don't.

Faults:

Driver's side power window stopped working at 600 miles. Radio quit working 2 weeks after I took delivery. Engine developed cooling system head gasket leaks at 31,000 miles. Air conditioning takes 15 minutes to cool down car in 85°+ weather.

Dealer warranty fixed all except poor performing A/C. Getting approval and parts lead-times for Dealer Warranty service experience was like having root canal and/or wisdom teeth removed.

General Comments:

This was my first and thankfully my last Subaru Automobile.

Subaru is the most incompetent car company I have ever had the displeasure of doing business with. Their Customer and Dealer Service is horrible.

I will never look at another Japanese car if Subaru is any example.

Faults:

Drivers back rest has real bad contours. Gave me back problems. Had two power lumbars installed. Made it better, but still not good enough. I had to trade the car in. Bang for the buck this is a great wagon except for the back rest. The Impreza's are also like this. Battery had to be jumped by me three times. Dealer found no problems.

General Comments:

If you have any back problems - do not purchase this car. It has power seats that I thought I would be able to find a sweet spot. I didn't. I'm driving and Audi Allroad that rides great. I also like the C & E class Mercedes for my back, but not the BMW (3 & 5 series) not the Jaguar.

Faults:

Nil.

General Comments:

Excellent quality and build. Superb ride and handling. Running costs high as maintenance intervals are short (i.e. 5,000km first service then 10,000km after) and 3.0 engine thirsty. Cabin spec fantastic with the best audio system (McIntosh) I've heard in any car.

Faults:

No trouble at all yet. Not even a rattle.

General Comments:

This car is a great all around performer. The turbocharged 2.5 liter engine is suited perfectly to the thin air in Colorado. The all-wheel drive is simply amazing any time the road surface is less than ideal. The interior is tastefully designed and well put together. This car is very quiet and comfortable when cruising around town. Step hard on the gas and this car will instantly respond. The performance capability of this car is stunning! All this for a very reasonable price. My Last Subaru was trouble free for 145,000 miles.

Faults:

Tires would not stay in balance and the dealership kept failing to balance them properly. I solved the problem by purchasing a another set of wheels and tires... bigger and stickier. Overall the car is beautifully designed and assembled.

General Comments:

The only short comings on this car is a high clutch engagement and the most uncomfortable seats I have ever experienced. Having owned a WRX the refinement of the Legacy is welcomed, but the performance of the WRX is missed. The GT model was a little out of my price range at the time and having to use 93 octane is a bummer considering I drive 650 miles per week. I enjoy the great gas mileage these days over winning stop light drag races.
